Guards Receive
Big Scare
The strike has its humorous as
well as its serious side as appears
from an incident occuring one day
this week in the vicinity of the
Atlas Hotel, wherein are corralled
the guards and strikebreakers en
gage 1 by one of our large factor
ies.
It seems that a railroader in or
der to give warning to the engineer
of an approaching train of another
train ahead, placed two torpedoes,
such as is used by trainmen for sig
naling, on the rails directly in front
of the Atlas Hotel. When the
train passed over the torpedoes,
both let go with a report resembling
the roar of dynamite bombs.
Then the fun started, the guards
had been dozing and sleeping
around the Hotel quarters up to
this time. They must have thought
the strikers were after them. Such
scrambling, hauling and pulling
was never witnessed in this vicinity
before. It was anything to get out
before the building blew up, every
body for themselves and the devil
take the hindmcst,
Old residents in the vicinity say
they never knew there was so many
oppenings in the building as was
used on this occasion. They poured
out of doors, windows, cellar, and
attic. Two of the big fellows, and
they are big, tried to get out of the
front doors, which are narrow, at
the same time and stuck. It is said
they almost tore each others cloth
ing off before extricating them
selves. Just let your imagination
run along with this and you will
get more fun out of it.
Out 60 The Pacifist
Labor Don't Want Them!
Here's a little .sample of what is
happening to the pacifists when
they go pussy footing around the
labor movement. Th'.s description
of a pacifist exit is from the Minne
sota Union Advocate:
Organized labor is showing its
genuine loyalty to the government
and its unawavering hostility to the
Peoples' Peace Council in many
places, T.vo of the most striking
exhibitions of these feelings have
been made recently in Denver. At
the last meeting of Teamsters' Un
ion No. 575 in that city a repre
sentative of the Denver branch of
the Council presented himself at
the outer door of the meeting hall
and asked permission to address
the union, stating that he expected
to get the members to vote a
monthly contiibutioa to the branch.
He was immediately told to "beat
it,"
as the teamsters and chauffeurs
are patriotic American citizens and
not
in sympathy with any pro-

German war movement. Then, at
a regular meeting of Carpenters'
Union No. 55, which owns the hall
in which its meetings are held,
great indignation was expressed
by the members when it was dis
closed that the hall was being used
to make it appear that the union
favors the pro-German pacifist
movement in the city. A motion
prevailed refusing the use of the
hall for such a purpose and with
drawing the two delegates previous
ly elected by the union to the Peo
ple's Peace Council. Ben Salmon,
secretary of the Denver branch of
the Council, was forbidden to enter
the hall thereafter.

Tag, You're It.
This Is The Slogan of the Textile
Workers for Saturday.
Saturaay has been designated as
Tag Day by the stHking textile
workers. Everywhere, on the
streets,
in
the stores, in the shops,
in the office buildings will be seen
taggers with their little tags and
cans into which one can drop their
contribution to the textile work
ers' cause and
in
return receive a
smile and tag, a tag such as every
one in the city, man, woman and
child, will be wearing on this day.
Plans have been carefully laid
out and committees organized so
that the city will be thoroughly
canvassed. It is believed there will
te over a hundred of the textile
girls on the job besides the men.
Then there will be assistance from
other sources. The Woman's La
bel League, the Iron Molders and
the Street Car Men, all will be out
to help and how in the name of
Culla Smith and Ferd Acker any
one can escape wearing a tag is be
yond our ken.
All committees are to meet at
Trades Council hall at 9 o'clock
sharp, Saturday morning wberr
they will receive tags, cans and in
structions and all get off with a
flying start.
